Time Has Come Today

Keeping the same theme as with the chicken legs, I braised some country pork ribs in red wine and onions and cumin seed. I wanted a hearty thick stew-like dish with fall off the bone pork. Something to warm your bones because even though we're supposed to be in spring, it's still damn cold out there but now the air is damp and goes right through you. Bonus bummer. I braised the pork for a little over an hour or so and then added corn, roasted bell peppers and onions, big chunks of roasted sweet potato and cilantro. By the way, leaving the onion in large chunks and roasting like this brings out the juiciest sweetest flavors - so right! This was basically a shorter version of a recipe I revamped from Woman's Day last year. If you're making a snarky face - Don't knock Woman's Day recipes actually. They are steppin' out a lot more and featuring cool user friendly recipes of Thai, Vietnamese, Brazilian, Middle Eastern food and much more. I've had good luck with all of them. You pay like cents an issue if you get a subscription, unlike those other schmancy gourmet food mags. Besides if you want an upscale recipe then there is Epicurious.com. They have great stuff too. I'm old enough now that I don't have to feel geeky reading Woman's Day although I've liked it all my life, secretly. Listen, I'm making meals to basically warm my knees now. I have two cats sleeping on me as I write this. Hell in 5 years I'm eligible for the seniors early shopping privilege up at the Pathmark! Just shoot me ferchrissakes, its obviously over!
